Verdict
CLAYTON is a long way clear on official ratings and enters the fray after making all in a Musselburgh seller. A winning hurdler, it's possible he may find this on the short side in which case Guvenor's Choice, who has been competing in all-weather handicaps over this trip, could be a reasonable alternative. Andok was 11l behind the selection at Musselburgh but is more likely to be better suited by this trip. The remainder have plenty to do on official figures.
